Mr Chan the trunk on that Japanese White Pine is beautifully massive and a pleasure to look at and study. It almost as if every time I look at that Trunk I see something new and unique....superb tree sir....just magnificently beautiful ! Also thanks so much for the quick tutorial on pruning both of those varieties of conifer.
Very old and beautiful tree. Glad you decided to film it and I can't wait for the other series until you get to the end result. Thanks for sharing 👍 Peter.
That is going to take a while as you said, but what a pleasure to be able to do so. Lovely trees grown with so much love and passion thank you for sharing
@@peterchan3100 I can only imagine there is lots too think about on that one (well at least for me ; ) ) I really love seeing you work those lovely old and big specimens. Its a true joy watching and learning form you. Thank you ever so much for your sharing of knowledge and love for the art. Your passion is truly inspiring I have learnt so much from you. Spring has really kicked off here. My one mulberry that is in the ground already has 500mm shoots, think we in for a hot dry season( lucky my pool is connected to the gutter down pipes of the house to catch all the rain water. Kindest regards cant wait to come visit once we move back to the UK
I always love these maintenance videos for established bonsai. My first tree is a white oak grown from an acorn (2 years old) and I wish I could find content like this for that variety.
Bless you, Peter. So patient, so knowledgeable, so informative. It’s such a joy watching you as you create such beauty. Your videos are so peaceful and relaxing. They are my go to when I’m having a sleepless night. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and yourself. You are such a joy. I grew up in a rural area surrounded by nature and I loved it. I’ve always been in awe of trees. I just love them. Recently the BBC documentary with Judi Dench came up in my feed. It was incredible. Did you ever watch it? It was amazing!
I absolutely love this tree and looks for it on each of your tours. It's a real treat to watch how you work on it and I don't mind how long it takes at all. I would love to model a seedling after this tree and grow it on
Wonderful tree! I love all your videos, especially different varieties and difficult material. I would love to see you work with an Australian native tree one day 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
@Me NotYou I did check the tree and it’s roots back then. It was not root bound. It recently had some healthy growth and I’m looking forward to its future.
That lime green new growth color is my favorite color! Verdant = lively... Viridis = Green (root word from Latin) There aren't many English words using this as a root, and they all come from the 1400s - 1500s and after... its almost like people didn't know what Green looked like until they went into the Rainforest. Viridescense: the quality or state of being green (this word was coined in the 1800's and still nobody uses it haha)

Peter youv got me pining for more!! Question on my white pine I had the candles drop off when just sprouted this year and now got needle drop, can you shed some light on the problem please? Thanks 👍
You can easily over water pine if the drainage is not good. They do not like having soggy roots. When they get overly root bound, that can make drainage worse. Conversely, no tree likes being too dry. Again, an overly bound root ball can cause dry spots to form. Dry spots do not absorb water and roots can dry out. Either way, it sounds like a problem with either the roots themselves or just the drainage. Remember to keep some of the active fungus around the main root stock.
Beautiful Big Tree!! 🤩 I have a question for Peter but would welcome any reply. This work was done in July. My Austrian Pine needs similar work for it’s initial styling. Frankly, I’ve been afraid if my timing is off that I’ll kill it. Was this 5 needle in summer dormancy? Now it’s late September. Here in dry Colorado, we are moving into fall quickly. (84°f daytime - 39°f last night) Have I missed my opportunity to start on this tree this year and should wait till early spring pre-flush? Thanks in advance Peter & community! 🌲
Hi Peter 👋 My concern is for ficus bonsai stock This tree is not thickening I even put a ring around base. Tree is18 inches growing nicely I prune it sporadically Need help If it thickens around it would look awsome
When you explain cutting shoots back halfway to force bud back those needles that are cut in half form a browned tip. That can be avoided if you have your pruners cut where the needles are attached to twig. This may be sacrificial but i think it affects the aesthetic value. JMO
Hi Peter, I have a question for you. I have a few plants that are in sphagnum moss. How do I store these plants for the winter considering we can get as low as -25 here? Kim🇨🇦
Agreed, it’s nice to see how they change throughout the year! I have 4 acers in pots currently and they do need pruned but I’m nervous about doing it incase I damage them. They are growing well so I don’t want to upset them.
He uses fertilizer, I believe he uses slow release. Since he waters with hose. Two applications per season, just before the spring bloom, and mid summer before the late season growth. You can also feed every time if you don't have many trees. A dilute 20-20-20 fertilizer in the water. With two or three full strength applications during full growth.
Where he cut the little shoots in half on the white pine was ridiculous, he might as well have just cut them off, because white pine will not throw new candles from a branch that has been pruned at the tip......that's why you only break a white pine candle in half before the needles open......don't remove the tip completely. ..
"everything looking nice and green... so enjoy it" awwww

One shoot at a time out of hundreds, head scratching fun 😁. Thx for sharing Peter, until next one 🙏.. cheers
Can't wait to watch this. Thanks for your work peter
Thanks Peter. Visited a couple of weeks ago on a rare trip south, you have some amazing trees.
This is an excellent tree🔥🔥👍

Just finished picking needles from my pines.
(Btw, good job tuning the mic.)
😁 yay! 🎶
What a great project! I'm so jealous
Me too.
very knowledgeable man! Just love you!

Happy prunning😀
Fantastic looking trunk. Super
Elegant and beautiful
I Love Your Channel!!!! Never Stop Making Videos!!!!
Such a Beautiful tree!👍👍❤
I see your starting to get some autumn color in a few of the trees.
I absolutely love this tree and looks for it on each of your tours. It's a real treat to watch how you work on it and I don't mind how long it takes at all. I would love to model a seedling after this tree and grow it on
tying the branches to the side for wiring is actually a fantastic tip, ok you surprised me with that one!!!
Wonderful tree! I love all your videos, especially different varieties and difficult material. I would love to see you work with an Australian native tree one day 🇭🇲🇭🇲🇭🇲
I was invited to Oz many years back but the thought of the long journey put me off - so I never came. Maybe one day.
Gorgeous tree. I have a 5 needle pine but hasn’t had any growth in 2 years. Yours looks stunning 🤩
Sometimes, only sometimes... When a tree doesn't grow anymore, it means the tree has bound roots. Good luck.
@Me NotYou I did check the tree and it’s roots back then. It was not root bound. It recently had some healthy growth and I’m looking forward to its future.
Another stunning video 😄
Thank you Peter lv Ann ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

How does the trunk get so twisty? Do you shape it as a sapling?

Could be problems with the root. Without seeing the tree it is hard to diagnose
@@peterchan3100 thank you for the reply will have a look at the root. 🙏

Hi Peter 👋
My concern is for ficus bonsai stock
This tree is not thickening I even put a ring around base.
Tree is18 inches growing nicely
I prune it sporadically
Need help
If it thickens around it would look awsome
Be patient.
Hello I have a Japanese 5 needle pine if I send you some pictures could you please give me some advice about what I should do to my tree
Email my office
@@peterchan3100 how do I email you
@@kevincook2976 Email him through Heron's Nursery.

Do you have Loropetalum bonsai?
We used to have them but no more stock

What makes a scots pine easier than a 5 needle pine?
They are hardier in our climate than the Japanese 5 needle pine.
@@peterchan3100 I see, that makes sense. What a beautiful pine though, wishing that it lives another 100 years, and beyond!
Hi Peter,
I have a question for you. I have a few plants that are in sphagnum moss. How do I store these plants for the winter considering we can get as low as -25 here?
Kim🇨🇦
Keep it away from frost
Can it be put in the cold if it’s on a covered deck?
If we wanted instant satisfaction, we'd be following a different hobby 😉 Take as long as the tree needs. It's far from boring 😎
Agreed, it’s nice to see how they change throughout the year! I have 4 acers in pots currently and they do need pruned but I’m nervous about doing it incase I damage them. They are growing well so I don’t want to upset them.
@@themuffinman2249 if they are growing well there's not much you can do to a maple to upset them!
Why do these trees have such prolific growth? I thought keeping the roots constrained was supposed to limit the growth of the tree.
He uses fertilizer, I believe he uses slow release. Since he waters with hose. Two applications per season, just before the spring bloom, and mid summer before the late season growth. You can also feed every time if you don't have many trees. A dilute 20-20-20 fertilizer in the water. With two or three full strength applications during full growth.
@@Robert_McGarry_Poems Why? Why would you do that if the purpose of controlling the roots is to control the growth?
@@Josef_R to keep the tree in good health. If you control the growth by starving the tree it can die.
@@pansepot1490 thank you, one more thing i learned today 🙏🏼 i probably would have done it wrong
So nice watching how you prue them. It reminds me of the Chinese foot binding practices in ancient China.

Hi baba g
Ap Kya Hal Hai ?
Bronze.
Bonsai is an exercise of delayed gratification.
No I dont think you are right because while you are making bonsai - you are enjoying the process. There is enjoyment throughout !!
@@peterchan3100That's true. Good point.
Got a bit bored with this one.
Where he cut the little shoots in half on the white pine was ridiculous, he might as well have just cut them off, because white pine will not throw new candles from a branch that has been pruned at the tip......that's why you only break a white pine candle in half before the needles open......don't remove the tip completely. ..
He pointed out that there were buds lower on the branch. Obviously he wants to keep growth and ramification as compact as possible.
You seem to know it all !!
I wonder why he has a garden with a show, and you do not. It seems to be important.
